As one of the most stylistically \"multilingual\" composers of the early twentieth century, his output is unparalleled in it's variety - a variety that is impressively displayed in this selection of piano music for two and four hands. Schulhoff's \"10 Klavierstücke\" [10 Piano Pieces] from 1919 reflect the influence of Arnold Schoenberg and the Second Viennese School. The \"Ironien\" [Ironies] for piano fourhands have the Dadaist, anti-establishment spirit of the great European cities of the 1920s. Though composed in free atonality, the cyclical \"Musik für Klavier in vier Teilen\" [Music for Piano in Four Parts] from 1920 has many of the characteristics of a Baroque suite, while the miniature \"11 Inventionen für Klavier\" [11 Inventions for Piano] from 1921 emphasize a broad spectrum of sound colors. Schulhoff explored classical form and tradition in his \"Piano Sonata No. 3\" from 1927. Born in Prague in 1894, Schulhoff - the son of German- Jewish parents and a staunch Communist - died of pneumonia in a concentration camp and his music fell into obscurity. That makes this recording all the more important as a document of the dazzlingly varied output of this remarkable composer from the period between the two world wars.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAudio Sample:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n                                           \u003ci\u003eAll soundclips are provided by Tidal and are for illustrative purposes only.
